HELLLO AFN FAMILY!:stylez rasta smoke: IDS Here For my 1st Ever Autoflower Grow. I gathered alot of info over the last 3-4 months and now that i have something to show you guys i thought i would start my 1st grow Log. Heres the brakedown one sec...:bong:
Seeds: Auto Seeds-Polar Express(Day 9), Secret Gardens- Pink Ogre(Day 10), Mistery- Sweet Tooth(freebie Day 9)

Soil: Sunshine Mix 4

Lights:CFLs- 3x 27w 6500k and 2x 125w dual Spec Feliz (GN M0006 LED on its way):dance2:

Nutes: Sea Grow 16-16-16 and 4-26-26, last watering i gave like 1/16 (VERY little) of 16-16-16 just to give them alittle extra food.

Setup: Closet, I makeshifted the area with big carboard boxes and mylar(cloest walls already had mylar wallpaper:shrug:) works for me tho.lol right now im using a microphone stand with a weight to support my smaller lights and lamps for my bigger CFLs. I plan on getting something more affective for my bigger CFLs but waiting to see how the led fits in the setup then i will work around it.

Temps: 70-80F usually HR 40-60% but trying to get to 70% for these early stages.

Light Schedule: Ok here the weird part. I dont have a timer yet so i have to turn off my lights manually so i wake up late and early am to turn them on and off. but i have to say they are getting anywhere from 16/8 and 20/4. every other day i let the lights go a little longer sometimes 24/0. But the weird part is how i turn my lights on. I see alot of people that have their lights on timers and everything comes on and off at once well to me that doesnt seem too natural so what i do is
Early Am- 3 smaller cfls come on(IMO to wake them up)
Mid Am- i turn on 1 of the 125w cfls
Before Noon(usually around 10-11am)- I turn on the other 125w cfl
After 7pm- I turn off one of the 125w clfs
8-9pm- I turn off the other 125w cfl
Rest of Cycle- i run the 3 smaller cfls
I think this is a more natural way to introduce light to the plants instead of shocking them awake every morning i slow introduce light then most of the day they get "Peak Lighting" then i slowly turn off the light. (trying to somewhat imatate the sun rising) when i get LED i will get a timer and it will be on 20/4 and i will use the cfls for extra lighting or what i call "peak lighting" during the day, then do what i do now but not have to get up as much:coffee break:
OK ENOUGH TALKING HOW BOUT SOME PICS?!

Camrea: Cannon Powershot HD 50x ($499) Hoping to give the Highest Quality Pics Possible!

looks good so far, keep it up!
( I would recommend to change the foil to white paint or plastic, as you could get heatsspots with that foil...)
 
Thanks for the advice just need some clearification when you said foil do you mean the Mylar? i Have mylar sheets covering cardbord and the back wall is mylar adhesive wallpaper( it was here when we moved in) should i paint the wall white or the carboard?
 
UPdate: Everything is going well, i am amazed how fast thing are moving. Polar Express(Day 12) is sexing and its a girl! Sweet Tooth(Day 12) is starting to sex. Pink Ogre is going to be the baby of the group but thats all good with me. i will post pics on day 15/16 that will b the day my M0006 will be here! There was a mix up with my order i should have gotten it already but they upgraded to express free of charge and it should be here monday!
 
Thanks mustard starting to run into my first problem with pest got gold ladybugs finding there way to my closet, if I don't find a effective way to combat them I might have to get that tent you encouraged me to get. Sorry I didn't listen sooner my friend.
 
Goood news!

Got my M0006Hop digity and My Medicanna Kush Fromage Autos! :stylez rasta smoke:They sent me 2 auto AK and 3 Flash Babylon freebies to make up for a mistake last order i cant complain at all!:D: Lost My KVS seed:Stones slap: so i had to order some more this morning. Sorry no pics today i was busy, then i had to move my grow area around so i didnt get time to snap pics ill do that after work tomorrow! Im starting to smell my girls and i gotta say i like wat i smell but i can tell its gonna get real strong later. Also i ordered my first tent! its 3x3x6ft perfect if i want to move up to 4-5 plants. Things are going well so far, got rid of my ladybug problem (hopefully until my tent arives) Thanks for all the good Karma i can really feel it everytime i step in the room!
